Years ago I saved TB as a favorite. Now, clicking through some old favorites, I clicked on you and bitterly thought to myself, "Don't. It's just a painful reminder of her absence." And holy shit, a post from August.

I miss your words. I'm here (still with no blog of my own - just a former sometime commenter) if you come back. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Hoping all is well with you and your family. I'd love to know how you're all doing these days.

(I didn't intend to comment anonymously. (Unless I didn't comment anonymously and did actually type in my name, which I do not recal doing. If I did, please, ignore me. I am for shit these days.) I got all excited and forgot to tell you who I am before I hit publish. I'm Karen. Not sure if you'd remember me or not. I commented a few times on the subjects of neighborhoods in "transition," growing up in an Italian family, being Catholic schooled, etc.. Maybe help jog your memory a bit.)
